He is on the books for an average of $9M a year for the next 3 years after this year. He’s a energy player off your bench, that’s it. I’d want to give his salary to a big that can be a low post threat/rebounder/defender who can put up numbers with or without Bynum.

“As for Calderon > Jrue, it’s quite simple. Lets talk offense where Jrue plays 10 more mpg than Calderon each night: Calderon’s True Shooting % is 6 points better than Jrue. Calderon plays 73% of the minutes Jrue does but only uses up 60% of the offensive possessions.

I can’t believe this is even a argument. Do you think any owner, gm, coach, player, or pundit would agree with your Calderon > Jrue? Meaning, would rather have have Calderon over Jrue on their team? This year Jrue is in the top five conversation at the position, Calderon doesn’t even sniff it, please stop this.

“Holiday is averaging 19.0 points, 8.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Holiday is also shooting 37.5 percent from beyond the arc, thus rounding off what could be a legendary season.”

“Should he finish the season with said averages, Holiday would be the 19th player in NBA history to average at least 19.0 points, 8.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds simultaneously (via Basketball-Reference).”

“Furthermore, he’d become the 13th player in league history to average at least 19.0 points, 8.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals (via Basketball-Reference). The NBA first began keeping track of steals during the 1973-74 season.”

It’s simple…Bigger, physical teams can take the Sixers to the rack and rebound at will. The Sixers have the soft trio of Lavoy/Thad/Hawes to defend. It’s a cake walk for a team like the Spurs…Which has been very evident so far tonight.

You should have seen Lowry walking out of the team hotel on the bus before the 76er game. I don’t know if you were a gambling man but if so, you’d of bet your net worth that Lowry would have played less than he did that night.

This is just my opinion, but if pressed about Irving, I don’t think that Jrue would say “I’m better than Kyrie”

Mountain Drew,
Cool Thread on RealGM, bro http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1215191
Keep saying that Bynum is the franchise centerpiece, maybe one day it will be true. And don’t worry about the worst case scenario, the team will start living it when Bynum gets healthy. You missed the point about the article with regards to flexibility and if you think this team can contend as presently constructed , LOL

Gio,

Don’t take this the wrong way but if you actually believe that, there is no helping you to see the truth.
Do you have an answer for why IND and CHI are winning 60% of its games with Granger and Rose out and the 76ers are winning 41% of its games without Bynum?

J-Rich is ONLY getting traded with Jrue, Thad, Bynum or this offseason with the teams lottery pick. He has 0 trade value right now, the front office should have tried to ship him out when he was balling hard early this year.
Hawes and ET could certainly fetch expiring contracts this year, if that’s what the front office wants to do.
Kwame can be traded if the 76ers send Cash+2nd rd picks too.

Let’s assume that the 76ers get rid of everyone except these 4 by seasons end: Bynum, Thad, Jrue, J-Rich. That’s $42 million in cap space used up.

With a lottery pick, 15 million in cap space and a Mid-Level Exception worth $5 million (it can be used on 1 player or multiple players+ can go over the salary cap) can the 76ers front office build a championship level team?

Rush blew his knee out, Wright is better than Harrison Barnes at literally everything at this point, Bynum is less risky at this point than Bogut+Biedrins and the GSW would have tons of flexibility this offseason.

GSW is in WIN NOW MODE. Bynum+Wright > Bogut, Barnes, Biedrins for WNM

Of course, Dileo and Collins wouldnt do this trade. They are totally lost and you are making the incorrect assumption that this was a good risk in the first place taking Bynum+J-Rich.

Don’t worry about tanking, the team will do that on its own.

As for Calderon > Jrue, it’s quite simple. Lets talk offense where Jrue plays 10 more mpg than Calderon each night: Calderon’s True Shooting % is 6 points better than Jrue. Calderon plays 73% of the minutes Jrue does but only uses up 60% of the offensive possessions.

The additional minutes Jrue plays has value but it’s really not enough to make up for on the offensive end of the court. Defensively, Jrue is a superior player and when you add in that extra 10 minutes Jrue has more TOTAL value. Regardless, the 76ers would be better with Calderon playing 38.1 mpg at PG as opposed to Jrue. Calderon is so much more efficient on offense and the differences in defense isn’t nearly enough to make up for the discrepancy on offense.
